Good to see Crede is doing well defensively. Also nice to see the big bats producing already, even if it's an intrasquad game it's still good to see. Also nice to see Masset had 2 scoreless innings.

I'm glad to see guys like Masset and Sisco pitching well in the intrasquad games. They certainly have great stuff.

Great. We can't get a run off Masset.

Did you see the part in there that said Javier Vazquez did well in front of 2 major league scouts....?

Is that supposed to hint at something?

Errr?? :?:

What exactly does this reference--

>>Javier Vazquez pitched two perfect innings and struck out three in front of two major league scouts<<

--in the story mean? Does the writer mean that Vazquez is being scouted (which if not true is poor writing) or that scouts were there looking at some position players (and maybe that Vazquez made them look bad) or that two major league scouts were there, by the way (and the writer has no idea who they were looking at but he might as well throw them into a sentence somewhere)?

Pitchers are scouted every time they take the mound, be it by advance scouts for the next team played, general MLB scouts that are supposed to keep up with the general performance of the rest of their league, and scouts assigned to watch a player pre-trade, that will never say what player they are actually scouting.

I'm guessing the 2 scouts were most likely there to check out Crede and not Javy.

There are certainly two ways to look at Masset pitching two scoreless innings. One very good outcome or a very bad one.

Hey you don't know how good those innings looked. He could have just got by scoreless.

I like the fact that Masset pitched two scoreless innings. I know a lot of people want to get rid of him, but I still have high hopes for him.

OTOH, I don't know what actually happened in those two innings or how he actually looked. All I can do is hope for the best.

That they hit Haeger and the minor leaguers is probably a good sign. They hit the guys they are supposed to hit.

Tomorrow's lineup for the exhibition opener actually looks pretty close to a full lineup, sans Swisher.

I'm starting to get excited to see lineups being posted....even if it is just spring training. :D:

You and me both. As much as they are not the best radio team in Sox history, I'm so stoked to hear the following tomorrow:

"It's time for White Sox baseball."

Followed by:

"Good afternoon from Tuscon Electric Park. I'm Ed Farmer, alongside my broadcast partner Chris Singelton as we get set to bring you the first Spring Training Game of 2008. Chris, the Sox are coming off of.....well, they're coming off of a pretty tough year."

"That's right Ed. But General Manager Kenny Williams has made some moves, he's traded a couple of players, brought in a few others, and this will be our first glimpse of this 2008 White Sox ballclub."

"You got that right partner. When we come back, Chris will have the starting lineups and I'll call the first pitch of the Sox Spring Training."

I've been getting giddy just reading about the intrasquad highlights, reading the posts of best HR they've seen, etc. Can't wait for tomorrow's game, just wish it was on TV, but radio will do (like the good old days, except still not the same without Rooney).

First coffee grinder reference? 1st inning? 2nd?

They're in Arizona. The coffee grinder will come after the first golf reference.
